“The goal was to expand Charleston’s technical workforce by providing individuals of all skill levels with access to affordable training in Web and mobile technologies,” the corridor said in a news release.

CodeCamp takes place in the corridor’s Flagship business incubators in downtown Charleston. Flagship1 and Flagship2 house budding tech companies in need of space and offer coding classes in their computer labs. The city of Charleston funded the buildings, and local companies funded the class space.

“Just like we work to help ‘set the table’ for business investment through physical infrastructure, we must also build up our innovation infrastructure to foster entrepreneurs and high­tech companies in South Carolina,” Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt said in a statement.
